DEFENSEMAN DAVE Manson of the Montreal Canadiens was suspended for three games and fined $1,000 by the NHL on Thursday for elbowing P.J. Axelsson of the Boston Bruins. Manson was assessed a major penalty for elbowing and a game misconduct after hitting Axelsson in the second period of the game on Wednesday night. ``Manson delivered a flagrant elbow to Axelsson's face,'' said Colin Campbell, the NHL's senior vice president and director of hockey operations.
